India Bazaar

The best selection of Indian food I’ve ever seen on DC metro area. A must stop for all Indian foods. My mouth is watering just walking around

I liked this Indian grocery store. It is well stocked and clean. If you use cash to purchase, they will you 3% off of the entire purchase. One thing I did notice is that some of the products do not have expiration or manufacturing date which is a little concerning. The cashier was friendly. Overall a very nice experience shopping here :)

This place is culinary MECCA if your inclined to preparing dishes from this incredible region of the world. So many different brands of ingredients, spices, herbs, rice and flour from over seas. If you are American, please step out of your comfort zone and visit.
As soon as you enter, your nose embarks on an adventure. Delicious hot samosas tempt you as you venture deeper into the isles of ingredients you can’t find in mainstream markets. You’ll be blown away at the vast array of Bollywood movie selections for rental and the eclectic décor for sale. They even sell HENNA and corresponding supplies. Beautiful little trinkets and bracelets available. Abundant stock of incense unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Disturbing lack of expiration dates on many items… Got faith?
Good food is only as good as the ingredients you gather for it. For the majority of my teenage years I carried a ton of curiosity for the two words «India Bazaar.» I’d pass the stores somewhat feeling like it wasn’t a place where I belonged. How stupid of me to be apprehensive about walking through the door!

All the things you need in one place!

Pros: Clean and organized, good prices,
Cons: They sell expired food, and I feel they deliberately erase the expiration dates on many items (especially pickles).
Also, its an Indian store, not a club, please turn down your bollywood tv’s cause the music is too loud.

I love this place! It’s super clean and organized, and it’s easy to find everything you need/​want, even things you didn’t realize you actually wanted in the first place, but decide to buy anyway because they just look that damned tasty. The staff are really nice and helpful, and the prices are awesome. I feel like an ass buying spices anywhere else — for the price of one fresh nutmeg at Whole Foods, you can buy a huge bag of them here. Good selection of ice creams — I love the rose ice cream.
The ONLY thing I’d say to watch for is expiration dates — and inspect all of the fresh/​frozen food (and spices) you’re buying. We picked up a few moldy packages of chapati and one of the other customers saw a bag of naan in our cart and asked, «Did you check the expiry on that?» We also saw a few containers of expired spices. Nothing that doesn’t happen in other stores, but something to keep in mind.
And the place smells incredible. :)

I have been going there since 2005 when they started in the same place that Block buster was there before. This is the same shopping strip mall where Grand Mart is located.
If you are looking for Indian spices, grocery, sweets, vegetables etc this is the place. The guy who owns it is a young guy named Jaspreet i think and everyone is very friendly.
The place to go in the Rockville, Gaithersburg area for Indian food and before i forget for entertainment dvds etc
